Vulcania Terra Cotta Baker

I get positively grumpy about how hard it is to find interesting and pretty casserole dishes. The 9x13-inch, 3-quart dish is one of the most-used in my cupboard, so why is it to hard to find more beautiful examples of it on the shelves? This terra cotta dish from Vulcania (making cookware in Italy since 1911), found at the wonderful clay cookware shop Bram, is a welcome change from white ceramic and stainless steel. Really beautiful.
